Chapter 531 Planning (addition 211 for the silver lord "niema")

"The Ding party can cover the sky with one hand? I'm afraid it won't be possible in the future." Li Xia pondered: "Jia Sidao and Wu Qian are both going to return to court, and they know about the affairs of the Privy Council."

Han Chengxu said: "Jia Sidao is a man of deep scheming, if he sends a large number of officials, it will be more worrying."

"I'm going to write a letter to Wu Qian." Li Xia said, "Before Jia Sidao returns to Lin'an and Wu Qian is already in the center, make appointments for officials in Hanzhong."

"Ah Lang knows Wu Qian?"

"This person is upright and capable, and the appointed officials must be all available talents."

Han Chengxu sneered slightly, and said: "Since Wu Qian is upright, it will be difficult to stand in the center for a long time... At that time, these talents will be able to win over?"

To say that Han Chengxu's inference is groundless, it is also very well-founded.

In this dynasty, the upright Xianggong has lost a lot.What's more, Wu Qian couldn't even beat Uncle Xie Fang.

Li Xia refused to comment, and said, "Maybe."

Han Chengxu twitched his beard, and suddenly sighed: "Ah Lang is now the Commander of Shu, I'm afraid he is more constrained by the court than before...."

"Yes."

Li Xia has already felt this matter.

In the three years since he entered Shu, Pu chose him as Shu Shuai.And the pressure from the court was almost all taken by Pu Zezhi for the Sichuan and Shu generals.

I have been in charge until... I am dismissed from Shu and dismissed as Prime Minister.

However, the previous commander of Shu was Yu Hui, who did nothing and was transferred to a county official, so he had a good end.

Further on is Yu Jie, who died and ransacked his home...

Li Xia refused to comment even more, saying: "I've talked about personnel affairs, and now I'm talking about people's livelihood and taxes. Since Hanzhong farm rent is exempted, we don't have to transfer grain to the imperial court in the past three years."

"The imperial court agrees to this matter?"

"I have written a letter." Li Xia said: "The land that has just been recovered, no matter what, the imperial court should exempt this tax. But what about the salt tax and commercial tax?"

"Alang has the right to dispatch Sichuan's taxes." Han Chengxu said: "Since Sichuan has a heavy army, the taxes are nothing more than the military pay. It is nothing more than the difference between the imperial court and Alang's."

"Like Lu Wende, being stuck by the court..."

After Li Xia muttered to himself, he said again: "When Jiang Fan and others arrive in Hanzhong, I plan to practice some fine work and go north. It is not only to provoke the infighting in Mongolia, but also to promote the exemption of land rent in Hanzhong and attract refugees to join. Li Fen from the land should also send someone to contact you."

"Alang, it's best not to be in a hurry." Han Chengxu patted his knees and murmured, "It's better to wait for the harvest this autumn and to divide the good land. Otherwise, there will inevitably be disputes among the people when they see the refugees get good land. As for contacting Li Fenzhi Why don't we talk about it after Duke Yang arrives?"

"Alright." Li Xia said, "Let's talk about Dali again. Ashu and Baiyin have already taken away more than [-] troops, and only Zongwang Buhua sits in Dali. Gao Qiong is investigating the situation."

"Alang wants to send troops to Dali again?"

"Not this year. After the war, the soldiers were exhausted, the food was insufficient, and the people's livelihood was in decline. Even if Dali was conquered, it would be difficult to occupy and govern it for a long time. Let's wait for next year. I plan to order first... order the peacemaker Louis of Tongchuan Prefecture to build a five-foot chisel Road, store up food and grass."

Li Xia paused in the middle of his speech.

He suddenly remembered that he had an argument with Yi Shiying in Lingxiao City, about whether to cultivate the five-foot way.

Up to now, his official position has been higher than that of Yi Shiying.

Unpredictable...

Han Chengxu said: "Alang doesn't need to conquer Dali himself. Next year, how about sending Yi to appease envoys to join forces with the Gao family?"

Li Xia pondered.

"Even if Alang married the Gao family, it would be difficult for Dali to submit completely." Han Chengxu said, "It would be safer for Alang to let the Gao family actually control Dali under the name of Great Song Dynasty, with Yi Anping envoys to send troops."

In short, it is difficult for Li Xia to guard Dali himself, and his current status and prestige are far from enough for him to lead Dali in Hanzhong.

The Dali family can accept the Mongolian Khan thousands of miles away, but they are unlikely to accept a thousand miles away... Shu Shuai?
It is necessary to borrow the name of Da Song.

Another meaning of Han Chengxu is...to prevent the Gao family from becoming self-reliant.

It is precisely because Yi Shiying was loyal to the Song Dynasty that he sent troops to Dali, so that the Gao family had to surrender to Li Xia and maximize the use of the Song Dynasty's national power.

"Alang, it's not that he doesn't believe in the Gao family." Han Chengxu said again: "It's that if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Dali first became the territory of the Song Dynasty, and then Alang took it on behalf of the Song Dynasty. The Gao family restores the country? Or is the Gao family helping Alang to take Dali? Gao Qiong is the Chinese Duke of Dali, and Gao Changshou is the Yuehou of Dali, so why would they hand over Dali to Alang? If you are willing today, what about tomorrow?"

Li Xia asked: "How is it that I am so guarded against people's hearts, what is the difference between me and Zhao?"

"Zhao's family is incompetent, and he took too much precaution. A Langxiong is a great man, but he must guard against people's hearts." Han Chengxu said: "Preventing troubles before they happen, and putting an end to the ambitions of the ministers as soon as possible is for the best of the ministers. Just imagine, if you drive away Mongolia If the Empress Dowager Gao is the only town in Dali, if he is bewitched by others, there will be a catastrophe, wouldn't it be even worse?"

Li Xia nodded and said, "Taught."

"Alang has great ambitions, and the emperor's mind... If it goes too far, it will damage Alang's heroic spirit, but he must learn it."

……

In the meeting hall, there were only Li Xia and Han Chengxu.

But on the contrary, more useful things can be discussed.

Li Xia has learned how to survive, how to be an official, a general, and a marshal. It is time to learn more.

Han Chengxu is old and sophisticated, and he can indeed fill in the gaps for him.

Sentence after sentence they talked about the darkness of the night.

A rough plan for the next three years has been set for Hanzhong, Sichuan, and even the entire Southwest.

After talking about internal governance, Li Xia talked about the relationship with various forces.

"In the next few years, Mongolia will be Kublai Khan and Brother Alibu, who will live and die. And I will be a loyal minister of Song Dynasty and a treacherous minister, just like Kublai Khan and Meng Ge, with conspiracy and suspicion, but It is necessary to maintain each other in order to catch up with Mongolia in terms of national strength, at least not to lose too much.

Externally, we must restrain the strong and help the weak in the battle between Kublai Khan and Brother Ali, deplete their strength, and win over more princes; internally, we must fight with Jia Sidao, Ding Daquan, Wu Qian, and even Officials, there are more dealings..."

~~
Li Xia mentioned Wu Qian's name twice.

He understood that in the future, he would not be able to get around Wu Qian in dealing with the center.

What's more, Shu Shuai is different from other foreign officials. He has at least three to five official letters with the court every month, and as many as dozens of official letters.

Li Xia knew that he couldn't avoid talking to Li Yong.

He really didn't like it.

awkward.

It is impossible to call someone who is not a father a father with peace of mind like those eunuchs in Lin'an who like to recognize their relatives.He was treated like a son again.

……

The construction of the Shanhe Weir is progressing quite smoothly, much more orderly than when Li Xia was sitting in the town himself.

Li Yong stood on the hillside, raised his finger and pointed for a while, and finally said: "It's still Wu Xianggong who is better at water conservancy. He built three dams on the mountain, one near the river, one near the river, and one in between. .”

"You admire Wu Qian very much?"

"Of course." Li Yong said, "Wu Xiangzheng is dignified, has a talent for managing the world, and has a magnificent style."

Li Xia said again: "Even if he wants you to die?"

Li Yong was silent for a moment, and said: "It is not Mr. Wu who wants me to die, but King Rong, King Zhong and his son want me to die."

"But I can guarantee you not to die, Wu Qian can't."

Li Yong smiled, letting the mountain wind blow his beautiful long beard.

He seemed to want to turn his head to look at Li Xia, but he couldn't bear it.

Not only Li Xia was embarrassed, but so was he.

The person in front of him looks like a son, but his every move is not a son at all.When we met, I didn't call him, but I didn't call... and I couldn't help it.

"You came to see me, is it because Mr. Wu is about to reunite?" Li Yong looked at the dam in the distance, and said, "I want to come, when the mountains and rivers are repaired, I should return to Lin'an."

"No need." Li Xia said, "You know, I'm Shu Shuai."

"Yu Jie and Pu Zezhi are also Shu commanders, and Wu Xi is the king of Shu."

Li Yong said casually, found a rock to sit down, and said: "You don't have to persuade me, the reason why I did this is because of my promise to Mr. Wu, and it has nothing to do with you."

Li Xia nodded.

After persuading him, he was too lazy to waste his time talking, and tied up Li Yong at that time, and waited until he helped Jia Sidao to bring down Wu Qian.

This is because of Li Xia's promise to Jia Xianggong, and it has nothing to do with Li Yong.

……

"Sit down."

Just when Li Xia turned to leave, Li Yong spoke again.

"Ok?"

Li Xia turned her head and saw Li Yong sweeping the big rock with his sleeve.

"You said you borrowed my son's body to revive your soul, but I said you suffered from hypochondriac." Li Yong said, "No matter what, you are always you...you have a childhood?"

"What do you mean?"

"You were alive before you were 16?"

"Have."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Li Yong's eyes were very sincere, and he said, "Talk about it? I really want to know."

Li Xia was silent for a long time, and finally sat down beside Li Yong, but she didn't know where to start.

He even thought about admitting that he was just sick...Hysteria, everything in the previous life was a dream, from the mind of Li Yong's son.

"You... let's say it's a soul. Does your soul have parents?"

Li Xia shook her head.

"Dead early."

Li Yong seemed to have some "so sure" eyes, and asked, "How did you pass away?"

"I don't know, I just remember being very hungry when I was a child." Li Xia said, "Later, a martial arts school took me in and taught me boxing."

Li Yong asked: "What kind of boxing?"

"It's just for people to watch miscellaneous punches, and just charge some money."

"Busting?"

"Almost. I can have enough food, have a future, and be raised by someone. I like it very much. But many spectators think that we are too bitter, and they scold the martial arts. After cursing and cursing, the martial arts is gone. I remember a few children always Crying, but it’s useless, the martial arts hall is gone, the well-meaning spectators dispersed, and the senior brothers went home to farm and lived a more miserable life without enough food, but no kind-hearted people helped them. As for me, I didn’t home, and went to the nursing home."

Li Yong said: "So you hate crowds, lonely and alienated?"

"Maybe, but I also like people because there's always someone to help me."

Li Xia said: "At that time, I often sneaked to the original martial arts gym, and I met a man, he was... a swordsman, he was old, had no children, and his feet were lame, and he only wanted to be number one in the world all his life. I didn’t make it myself, but I have a good talent, adopted me, taught me how to learn swords, and provided for me to study.”

"Green forest despots?"

"Forgetful old man, he forgot, so he left."

"You said he has no children, but he still has a son."

Li Yong sighed, patted Li Xia's shoulder, and got up.

He thought for a while, and then said: "I was persecuted by King Rong, and I was fleeing, but I was rescued by Mr. Wu. The kindness in this is just like that old swordsman to you... If you can understand it, don't miss me and Mr. Wu. .”

After all, Li Yong walked towards the river dam without turning his head.

Li Xia recalled this conversation, and felt the loneliness in a certain sentence of Li Yong, and didn't know whether he and Li Yong were getting closer or further away.

But he never changed his decision, and still raised his hand to beckon the two guards.

"Take care of Mr. Xiling, don't let anyone deliver letters to him, don't let him leave this place..."
